Transylvania: 1800s Monster Drama Pilot Ordered by CW

by Cindy McLennan, February 2, 2016

The CW has ordered a TV show pilot for Transylvania. Set in the 1800s, this monster drama is written by Hugh Sterbakov, who executive produces with Jeff Pinker (of Fringe and the cancelledOctober Road TV series), Josh Appelbaum (Star-Crossed), Andre Nemec, and Scott Rosenberg, both of whom hail from the cancelledHappy Town, and from Zoo with Appelbaum.

Sterbakov was on the writing team for Seth Green and Matthew Senreich’s TV movie Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III, a Star Wars spoof, that grew out of the Robot Chicken TV series.

Written/executive produced by Hugh Sterbakov (Hell And Back), Transylvania centers on a headstrong young woman in search of her missing father who ventures from NYC to Transylvania where she teams up with a wrongfully disgraced Scotland Yard Detective, and together they witness the births of the most famous monsters and villains in history.
